Walnut Creek Auto Repair

This review is a few months late, but I recommend their services to anyone in the local area who needs their car looked at. I took my car in back in December (2024) for a routine six-month checkup, but I mentioned when I checked in that the steering was shaky at high speeds. It turns out that I had torn bushes on both sides of the car (admittedly, I jumped a few too many curbs in the months leading up to this appointment). They recommended that I replace the entire setup (including the lower control arms instead of piece by piece - it made sense!). I scheduled an appointment for shortly after the new year. I also have third-party repair insurance (best purchase ever!), and the team made it an easy transition to work with them to have the repair done at no out-of-pocket cost to me by dealing with the vendor directly. The basic cost for the six-month checkup also seemed very reasonable and took less than an hour! Most importantly, they did exceptional work. Replacing the control arms and bushings was the best idea. The car now rides just as it did when I first bought it on the road and freeways, for which I am thankful. I even feel much more comfortable navigating the ongoing construction around these parts without feeling my car will slide all over the place as it did a few months ago. I can feel the alignment now when driving, which is perfect. As someone who values top-notch customer service, I appreciated how thorough their initial reporting was and how I was kept informed on the status of my repair throughout the day it took place. I look forward to bringing the car back in soon for another check-up. This team seems to value their work and "know" cars of all types well - very important.

Super honest and efficient. Everything youd hope for in mechanics. Highly recommend.

Jon was very helpful. I look forward to bringing in my other cars for service.

Had a great experience with DAS. Jon was great to work with and their online system works amazingly well with providing pictures and videos so you can better understand their diagnosis and estimates. I will definately go back and recomend to others.

I'm knew to the area and have been looking for a place to take my vehicle since I've been here. Bringing my vehicle to Diablo Auto Specialists has been the best experience I have had at an automotive facility. Jon at the Walnut Creek location was the nicest person to talk to. He listened to my concerns and got back to me as soon as they found out what was going on. Their inspection is the most detailed I've seen. Jon went over all issues or possible concerns and explained what maintenance was the most important to the least. I felt no pressure what so ever to complete any additional services and this is a great comfort and surprise because I use to work for auto shops and in my experience, this has never been the case. The prices are reasonable and they complete great work. All around, this has been the best experience I've had and I will definitely be returning in the future and recommend to aothers.

An emission control problem recently developed with my car, which I have had since I bought it new. Now it has been out-of-warranty for a while. The garage at the dealership has been my primary source of service, but when I discussed this issue with them, I got the clear idea that it was probably going to be quite expensive to repair. I am very glad I got a second opinion. Jon immediately told me that it was a problem that he had seen many times, and that he could probably repair it properly and quite inexpensively, including new parts. I am now a very happy customer!

Friendly, helpful, fast, and responsive. Highly recommend!

First time bringing my car here and it was a great experience. Very friendly staff and they keep you well informed on any findings and assesment of the car providing plenty of pictures and details so you can make an informed decision on the fixes your car might need. I used to go to the dealer for repairs or service, but will be switching to Diablo Auto going forward.

Great service! I was notified by text with pictures regarding the status and followed up with a phone call.

Jon was great to deal with. Transparent. They did a thorough inspection of my vehicle with recommended repairs. Yet didn't pressure me on any of it. Great experience for me. I'll be back.
